West Virginia Legislature.

THE SPECIAL Session BEGINS TO DAY-THE GOV
ERNORS REPRESENTATIONS.
The West Virginia legislature convened in
special session at noon to-day. The business cut
out for the body, and included in the governors
special message, embraces the consideration Of
the several appropriation bills the regulation OF
costs, charges and proceedings in criminal trials
and the ratification OF the State boundary along
the lines OF Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia.
The most important business, however, is in rela-
ton to railroads. The governor is the sworn
enemy OF everything in the shape OF railroad,
and his proclamation Is mainly devoted to calling
attention to what he deems abuses by the cor
pOrations having lines withiR the State. His
friends will present bills reghlating PASSENGER
and freight charges, and to prevent the issuing
OF free passes to state officers and delegates to
political conventions. The legislature Will also
be asked to prohibit the improper use OF money
elect Senator to succeed Camden, the large ma
1ority OF both parties holding that the appoint
ment Of Lucas is invalid The last legislature
failed to elect. Senator Camden was supported
by thirty eight democrats while 1T required forty
one. The State constitution provides that q
special session shall enter upon no business but
what Is outlined by the governor In his call A
majority OF the democrats are for Camden. A
small number, who hold the balance Of power, are
for some one else.
A dispatch from Charleston last night says: eek
lating freely among the members. 1t is generally
conceded that Senator will be elected. 1t is GER
tain that MI. Lucas, Gov Wilson's appointee, Will
not be allowed to hold his place as United States
senator. The session will be an exciting one and
Will last about thirty days"

The Alleged Parnell Letter.

AN EXPERT DECLINES TO GIVE A POSITIVE OPINION.
Mr.. Parnell has gone to Dublin to endeavOr to
sift the matter OF the letter published by the
Times.
Mr.. Netherclift, an eminent photographic expert,
has compared the signature attached to the
Times Parnell letter with two OF MIR. Parnells
signatures, but declines to express positive
opinion In the absence OF further examples He says
there are disparties between the signature to the
Times letter and the two others, and that there
are also dfspartties between the latter two. He
thinks the fafrest comparison would be with
signatures OF the same date of the Times, and not
with signatures recently written. for test. He
says that the signature given by the Times II false
Is very good imitation but that 1t would be unfair
to give an opinion based upon two signatures
written for purposes OF comparison.
Lord Randolph Churchill, in speaking at Not
ttngham, said il the Parnellites wanted TO bring
action against the Times they need not rely On an
English jury, action could be brought either in
Ireland or scotland. He said 1T might be neces-
Sary for the house Of commons to clear itself OF
the grave charges brought against portion OF
that body.

DROWNED IN KANAwHA FALLS on MARCH 2.
A special from Hinton, w. Va, to the Baltimore
american says: 1.-THE body OF Mrs. G. E. Turner,
OF Baltimore. who was drowned at Kanawha
Falls on March 2, was found this morning in
the basin below the falls by j. c. Huddleston.
The body was somewhat diSfgured about the
face. There was sand on the shoes, which would
indicate that she had been on the bottom all this
time" The drowning OF Mrs Turner was tragic
one. Mrs. Turner, Miss Rhodes, MIS- II. Tyree OF
Olive Hill. KY, and mother OF the railroad agent
at Hinton, and p. s. Strong, colored barber at
the hotel, got in sktff and went on a moonlight
pleasure trip down the river. The water was very
much swoolen by the recent rains, and the skill
getting too near the falls, they were unable to
control 1t, and were carried over. The shrieks OF
the unfortunate and helpless women were plainly
heard, but, before any assistance could be rem
dered, the light boat had been sucked into the
current and swept away. Mrs Turner's body
sank at once. Mrs. Tyree and Miss Rhodes were
supported by Strong until they could be taken
Out, but the former died an hour afterward. Mr..
Stephen Lewis the stepfather OF Mrs. Turner, is
proprietor OF the High Street Hotel.

The Bible on Wine-Drinking.
PHILADELPHIA PREACHERS DISCUSS THE SUBJECT


ITS RELATION TO TEMPERANCE.
At the conference OF Baptist ministers, in Phila-
delphia, Monday morning, in the assembly hall OF
the Publication Society, Rev. willard NJ. Robinson
read a paper on 1.-The Relation OF the Bible to
Total Abstinence" He said that In the Bible
much is said In favor OF the intoxicating fruit OF
the vine; its use is permitted prescribed and prac-
tiSed, and IL Is also condemned many times and
strongly. That the wine OF the wedding miracle
at Cana was intoxicating seems evident from the
fact that nothing to the contrary is said. Moth
ing is said directly in the accounts OF the sinful
ness OF the several fntoxications OF Noah Lot and
Napal. In no case is the moderate use OF wine re-
pudtated. 1t is the calculating man who gives
his neighbor drink to his intOXicatiOn and who
makes money out OF the widow and the father
less, that is scourged by the Saviour. man has
the right to abstain from the use Of wine. The
great need OF temperance workers is 10 agree upon
one thing.
The subject was further discussed, Rev. o. G..
Burlington contending that the whole argument
from the Old Testament could just as well be APP
piled TO polygamy as to wine drinking
Rev. Mr. Robinson retOrted that the Saviour dis
tinctly said that pOlygamy was wrong; but he did
not say that the moderate use OF wine was wrong.
II you are to blot out from the earth all that in
toXlcates, you must have some philosophy for
doing IL.

GLADSTONE AGAIN SPEAKS.
He Den0unces the Calumny ON Par.
nell and Crfticizes the Grimes BILL

At the banquet OF the Eighty Club in London
last night Mr.. Gladstone, In his speech said that
the time had arrived when it was necessary TO
measure his own position and the position OF the
unionists He never entertained suspicion that
the Parnellites associated themselves with crime,
and bis oficial knowledge was at least as good as
that OF Lord Harrington. The burden OF proof lay
upon the accusers, not upon the accused Unless
the accusers showed q rational probability OF the
truth OF their charges they were worthless calum-
niat0rs, and should be Stunned as pests OF society
Continuing Mr.. Gladstone said he hoped the
liberal unionists who had abstafned from voting
on the second reading OF the crimes bill would
occurred to make the prospect OF home rule more
hopeless than IL was twelve or even six months
ago. Mr.. ChamberlainS statement that the
r0un1-table conference had collapsed because he
tGladstone1 would not devfate from the provisions
OF his original bill was utterly untrue. He had
tried to induce the unionists TO work with the
home-rule liberals for party purposes outside OF
the Irish question, but had failed in his endeayor
But bitterest OF all was the sight OF liberals sup
porting the coercion bill. He had hoped that a
considerable number OF the liberals who had voted
In favor OF the crimes bin would eventually refuse
to accept the measure unless they were assured
that there would be combined with IL bill for the
relief OF Ireland. Fer that reason he had asked in
the house of commons yesterday the question,
would the government stand or fall by its relief
bill as by its coercion bill? The evasive answer he
received showed that the government meant to
force through the coercion bill and let the relief
bill take its chances He briefly criticised the pur.
poses and alleged necessity OF the BILL and said
that the question should be referred TO the judy
ment OF the nation. He did not wish an early dis
solution OF parliament, but they must arouse
reflection on the part OF the electors, and he
believed dissolution would produce that effect.
Mr.. Gladstone spoke for an hour.
KING-HARAoN's EXPLANATION.
Col. King Harmon, parliamentary under secre-
tary for Ireland, has written to the Times denying
Mr.. Sections assertion that he dhe wrtterl had
had dealings with MeSsrs. Egan and Sheridan. In
a speech at RamSgate last evening he said that II
was true he was a home ruler In 1870, but the
meaning OF home rule then was absolutely differ
ent from Its meaning now. Then the loyaiist
party had been greatly outraged by certain legiS-
lati0n introduced by Mr.. Gladstone. and many 10y
aliSts said that IL Ireland TO be thus treated
it was better to see what her own people could do
but they never limited at separation.
